Skeletons Don't Play Tubas — Marcia T. Jones; Debbie Dadey

There are some pretty weird grown-ups living in Bailey City. But could the new band teacher really teach a skeleton to play the tuba?

The Bailey School kids are going to find out!

"I bet that skeleton Mr. Belgrave calls Claude is playing the tuba," Liza said softly. "Remember Mr. Belgrave said Claude could play the song better than us."

Eddie, Melody, and Howie looked at Liza in surprise.

Melody rolled her eyes. "You're crazy," she said.

"It can't be Claude," Howie shook his head. "Skeletons don't play tubas."

"It is Claude," Eddie agreed firmly. "And I'm going to prove it!"
